tested and listen by an independent test laboratory
for use in combination with each other.

Before installing the range in an area covered
with linoleum or any other synthetic floor

covering, make sure the floor covering can
withstand heat at least 90°F above room

temperature without shrinking, warping or
discoloring, Do not install the range over carpeting
unless you place an insulating pad or sheet of 1/4"
(10,16 cm)thick plywood between the range and

carpeting.

• Make sure the wall coverings around the range
can withstand the heat generated by the range.
Do not obstruct the flow of combustion air at the

oven vent nor around the base or beneath the
lower front panel of the range. Avoid touching the

vent openings or nearby surfaces as they may become
hot while the oven is in operation. This range requires
fresh air for proper burner combustion.

1. Before Installing the Range

Remove shipping material
Remove all tape, shipping and packaging materials and
the oven rack packaging.

2. Provide an adequate Gas Supply

When shipped from the factory, this unit is designed
to operate on 4"(10,16 cm) water column (1.0 kPa)
Natural gas manifold pressure. A convertible pressure
regulator is connected to the range manifold and MUST
be connected in series with the gas supply line. If LP/
Propane conversion kit has been used, follow instructions
provided with the kit for converting the pressure
regulator to LP/Propane use.

Care must be taken during installation of range not to
obstruct the flow of air for combustion and ventilation.

Forproper operation, the maximum inlet pressure to
the regulator should be no more than 14"(35,56 cm)
of water column pressure (3.5 kPa). The inlet pressure
to the regulator must be at least 1" (.25 kPa) greater
than the regulator manifold pressure setting. Examples:
If regulator is set for natural gas 4"(10,16 cm) manifold
pressure, inlet pressure must be at least 5"(12.60 cm);
if regulator has been converted for LP/Propane gas

10"(25,4 cm) manifold pressure, inlet pressure must be

at least 11"(27,9 cm).
Leak testing of the appliance shall be conducted

according to the instructions in step 4.

Adjustments

8.5.1 Electric Ignition Burners
Operation of electric igniters should be checked after
range and supply line connectors have been carefully
checked for leaks, and range has been connected to
electric power.

The oven burner is equipped with an electric control
system aswell as an electric oven burner igniter. If your
model isequipped with awaist-high broil burner igniter,
it will also have an electric burner igniter. These control
systems require no adjustment. When the oven isset to
operate, current will flow to the igniter. It will "glow"
similar to a light bulb. When the igniter has reached
a temperature sufficient to ignite gas, the electrically
